1977 Left Swingarm Stuck
I am in the process of removing the spindle on my 1977. I have been able to unbolt everything except the bolt that the swingarm swivels on. I easily removed the castle nut, but i cant get the bolt to budge. I saw a video where they just pried it out. Is it just frozen or am i missing something? Any help would be appreciated.

There have been many posts here over the years on doing exactly this task. A quick search will likely turn up a number of posts.
By the way, welcome to the Corvette Forum, I think you'll soon find it the handiest tool in your tool box.
Good luck... GUSTO

Here you go, a terrific post on this very subject...

One thing I think you'll find in time is there are many experts here on the Forum on different areas of these cars. When you meet them here you will recognize them quickly. They are one of the things about the Corvette Forum that make it so valuable. One of them is GTR1999 also known as Gary Ramadi. Gary is by all means an expert on anything to do with the entire rear suspension, but certainly not limited to that. However his advice on anything suspension related, is always best heeded.
